Discover Hong Kong's history, culture, and hidden gems with a knowledgeable local host. Explore iconic spots and uncover the city's best-kept secrets!
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Get ready for an epic Hong Kong adventure that's anything but ordinary! We love Hong Kong, and spending time there is always a new adventure. So, on this journey, you'll dive into the city's history, uncover hidden gems, and soak up the vibrant cultures like never before, with a local host showing you the way. So let's go!
First up, you'll kick things off at the grand Government House, the swanky official residence of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Sure, you can't go inside, but who needs to when the exterior alone tells stories of colonial grandeur? Your host will spill all the juicy details about its historical significance.
Next, step into a time machine at the Duddell Street Steps and Gas Lamps. These old-school gas lamps are some of the last remaining in Hong Kong, casting a nostalgic glow that harks back to the 19th century. Your host will fill you in on the fascinating colonial history, and it's the perfect spot for some moody, vintage-style photos.
Then, hop on the Central-Mid-Levels Escalators – the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. Stretching over 800 meters and rising 135 meters high, this is urban commuting turned into an adventure. As you glide through bustling streets and lively neighborhoods, your host will point out quirky shops, trendy cafes, and local secrets. It's like a moving snapshot of Hong Kong's vibrant life, effortlessly carrying you from Queen's Road Central up to the buzzing SoHo district.
Your journey continues to Tai Kwun, a cool mix of history and contemporary culture set in the former Central Police Station compound. This place is massive, with 16 heritage buildings, including the old police station, magistracy, and Victoria Prison. Explore the beautifully restored architecture, interactive exhibits, and vast courtyards. Your host will make sure you catch the best stories and highlights, from cramped prison cells to lively arts performances. It's not just a walk back in time; it's a deep dive into Hong Kong's creative pulse.
After soaking up the heritage vibes, you'll head to PMQ, a buzzing creative hub that used to house married junior police officers. Today, it's a treasure trove of design studios, workshops, and boutique shops. Think fashion, accessories, gifts, and all sorts of lifestyle goodies crafted by local artisans. Your host knows the coolest spots and will share the backstory of this vibrant space, where every corner bursts with creativity and inspiration.
Finally, wrap things up at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Museum, a historic landmark housed in the iconic Kom Tong Hall. While the museum is currently closed, you can admire its elegant Edwardian architecture from the outside and learn about the life of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. Your host will share fascinating stories of his time in Hong Kong, bringing history to life.
Discover Hong Kong's heart and soul through the eyes of a family who knows it best, turning an ordinary day into an extraordinary adventure. We hope you fall in love with Hong Kong just like we did!

Show moreOur guide Benny did an amazing job! We were time limited so needed to visit as many attractions as we can and Benny gave us a fantastic tour. Perfect for what we were looking for which was a mix of touristy attractions and local places. He was very informative and provided great context on all the places we visited. Highly recommend!
Show moreDennis was very friendly and welcoming. Our tour was just what we hoped for - an inside look at Hong Kong as presented by a knowledgeable local. Dennis had great insight into the customs and history of the city. He took us to very interesting locations and was able to share with us the significance and meaning of each. Dennis was very personable and within a few minutes of meeting him it felt like we were touring Hong Kong with a lifelong friend.
Show moreEven though our tour started a little late (it was the ship's fault!), Karen was a great tour guide and was so flexible and accommodating! She was very knowledgeable and answered our million and one questions. I had made a primary to-see list, as well as a secondary list, and in 6 hours we saw almost everything on the two lists. The only thing we missed was the peak, but it was such a foggy day, we wouldn't have been able to see anything anyway! Karen took us on a ferry, the metro, and one of the funky trams. And, to top it all off, at the end of the tour she took us to a local place where we could sit and eat some dim sum, and made sure we knew how to get back to our ship afterwards! I would highly recommend one of these tours, and ask for Karen!
